Well, it wasn't more than $12 but it was close. I made more money in Nashville doing tech work, but I was the supervisor for software services and the network admin. Then when I moved to East TN I worked for Toshiba and they paid well. Then it began to spiral away from me. : /

I don't know if you're familiar with the hows and whos of Cox Cable tech in Vegas but that's what I was doing. I'm not doing that now. I finally just snapped. lol I gave my notice and now I'm waiting for something technical that fits to open up.

It's very hard doing tiered tech support when your background is beyond that. It's very frustrating. I mean... you have people who are very talented techs, like Byte... he's got multiple computers at home and projects going and he knows computers in and out... then they want to bring in people whose last job was at McDonalds and they don't have a computer at home and can't navigate through basic troubleshooting areas in Windows, much less do anything a little off the beaten path. It's hard to work side by side with people you want to smack in the back of their head with a toaster.

Oh no! I'm ranting!
